Well, I’m not so big on Adam Sandler, but Ben Stiller does get some of the best lines. I love Romeo and Juliet though and yes, I could watch it 100 times and still notice new things. But more importantly, this is your best headline ever 😉

How fantastic was the final bit of Shutter Island?!!! Same, I can usually guess, but not this one.
I remember the first time I saw that scene with Ben Stiller in Happy Gilmore, I almost choked, SO funny!
My favourite movie of all time, and I can recite every single word is Rocky Horror Picture Show, could watch it every day. I also love Pulp Fiction and anything with Bette Midler or Stanley Tucci.
Lately though it’s more like Hotel Transylvania and Diary of a Wimpy Kid 🙂

I see a Leo trend going on here, and why not he is gorjus! I liked blood diamond(?) that he was in too. I don’t think I have watched all of Sound of Music or Shutter Island all the way through, or Lord of the Rings for that matter!

Yes he was in Blood Diamond. I feel in love with him as a teen and have adored him ever since, he’s probably not much older than me! You HAVE to watch the Sound of Music, your kids, when older, will LOVE it x

I don’t need to tell you that I could watch Xmen first class a thousand times with the sound turned down. So I wont tell you that. I beg to differ on Leslie Nielsen however. IMHO he was bloody hilarious and I felt that comedy lost a little something when he left the building.

Can I guess that The Great Gatsby is high on your list of films to see?! LEO ALERT!

I don’t like many Jim Carrey movies, but I did like Ace Ventura when it first came out, and I love Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Helps that he’s not being an over-the-top loon in it! (Just a regular loon…)

Love these movies! Except for Titanic – it was ok but dragged out too long for me. I’m a horror / creepy suspense movie kind of girl. Faves include The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption & classic horror like Nightmare on Elm St. I really love Shutter Island – it’s one of those films that keeps you on the edge of your seat & so unexpected – Leo’s a bit of alright too!!

Lately though it’s been animated movies like How to Train your Dragon, Brave & The Polar Express on repeat in this 3 year old dominated house! All good movies – but only the first 3 or 4 hundred times! 🙂

I am totally with you on the Sound of Music and Kill Bill. Kill Bill has to be the most hilarious movie I have ever watched. My hubby and I went through a stage where we would grab a bottle of wine, put on Kill Bill and piss ourselves until the end. This happened weekly 🙂

I love Ben stiller, you love Leonardo by the looks of it too. I saw the great gatsby the other night – awesome, I’ve seen sound of music probably 20 times and will most likely watch it again with my darling tonight. Lord of the rings? I watch once a year. I’ve seen old dogs five times now – John travolta and robin Williams. The last time I cried laughing – it grows on u. Love that line you have featured. Mind if borrow it? Kimx

Sounds like I’d best find myself a copy of Shutter Island. I don’t get to see very many movies, but I did love avatar when I saw it five years after everyone else. I’ve seen two of the three LOTR. I did it for love – or lust – or something. The boy I was seeing insisted I watch the first before we drove 1.5hrs to the next town to see the second.

I think I watched the commitments at the movies like 5 times and as for The Breakfast Club…well, I knew every line off by heart! You know, I couldn’t watch Shutter Island. Just looked too scary for me…Yes, I am a wuss!

I am so happy to say that you and I could watch movies together! I also cannot stand Jim Carrey or Mike Myers at all. Though I will admit to being partial to a stupid stoner movie (think Harold and Kumar).
Totally forgot about that scene from titanic. The one that always got me was the mother putting her kids to bed 😦

Romeo+Juliet: I saw this 7 times at the cinemas! My best friend Kylie and I were obsessed! We then went on a mission ad watched every Leo DiCaprio and Claire Danes movie ever made. And then watched R+J again and again when the DVD finally came out. Kylie had the Internet at her house, which in 1996 was a HUGE deal and we spent many hours waiting for her dial-up to download one continuous fan page (created in geo cities I’m pretty sure) that was nothing but pictures from R+J. Obsession is probably too weak a word for it!

Titanic: saw this at the cinemas 4 times and is definitely one of those movies I can watch over and over. I love it. Had the soundtrack firmly lodged in my fancy 3 disc CD player, along with the soundtrack from R+J, volumes 1 & 2!

The Sound of Music: something you may not know about me, but this is my all-time favourite movie. All. Time! There is no other movie I have a greater love for and have seen more (if I had to guess I would say easily over 25 viewings). I know just about every word of dialogue and every word to every song! I can’t wait till Punky is old enough (I was 6 when I fell in love with it) to watch it with me.

Shutter Island is one movie I really want to see again. I’ve only seen it once, on a flight to New York and I really enjoyed it despite barely being able to see what was happening on the tiny screen. I thought the story was brilliant. I have seen the LOTR trilogy but really wanna see them again as they were viewed while recovering from not-just-alcohol-induced
hangovers and as such I don’t remember a lot of them!

See, we are meant to be!! I would have seen Sound of Music at least 25 times also. R&J just gorgeous! And please get out Shutter Island, it’s so much better the 2nd, 3rd and 15th time 🙂
As for LOTR – they are great movies, maybe have them cued up when BFing No.2 in the middle of the night, 40 mins a night you’ll have them done in a few weeks xx
